Karlos Williams: More Potential Trouble for the FSU Running Back

It appears the accusations against FSU running back Karlos Williams are starting to mount. According to reports, not only is Williams the subject of an ongoing domestic battery investigation, he is also alleged to be looked at in an alleged armed robbery case apparently from a botched pot deal.

Mark Schlabaugh and Brett McMurphy, both of ESPN.com, report that “the Florida State Attorney’s office for the 2nd Judicial Circuit in Tallahassee last week attempted to interview Williams about a June 23 robbery of an FSU student. Williams declined to speak to an assistant state attorney and an investigator from the Tallahassee Police Department about the incident last week, state attorney Willie Meggs told ESPN.com.”

ESPN reports that on July 30, Tallahassee police took Daravius “Gutta” Lawrence (then 17, now 18) into custody for his alleged role in an armed robbery of Freightlin Shooter Cox, a 26-year-old Florida State senior who is also a retired Marine.

Cox indicated to Tallahassee authorities that he was robbed by three men while purchasing pot at his home near Seminoles’ Doak Campbell Stadium. That purchase fell apart, Cox told the Tallahassee police, and he was subsequently held up by two other armed men allegedly accompanying Lawrence.

Williams has yet to be charged in either the domestic abuse case or the armed robbery case. He was seen at Florida State’s practice on Monday in full pads. The Seminoles travel to Louisville for a Thursday night ACC showdown.

FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher was quick to downplay a report out of Jacksonville on Monday that Williams was potentially part of an investigation into the domestic abuse violations, stating the sources were “false” in their knowledge. Fisher has been a vocal proponent of quarterback Jameis Winston as he continually has been the center of continued accusations of wrongdoing.

“There’s another false report, and that’s amazing how things happen,” Fisher said to reporters. “Whoever has sources, whoever has rumors, needs to check who they are talking to — because that is about as far from truth as there is.”

As of now, there has not been any other statement released by the university or its athletic department regarding either incident.

Dolphins News and Notes: Potential Shake Up In Organization

Football Nation has learned that Mike Sherman, the offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins, may be in jeopardy of losing his job after the Dolphins lost to the New Jets, eliminating them from the AFC playoffs.
The word about Sherman’s job, which came from a story in the Miami Herald, came after head coach Joe Philbin met with his players and coaches for the last time on Monday following the loss. Philbin, who has been under fire all season for off field issues as well as a poor offensive line and shaky offense, did not put anyone at ease about their job security, which raised the question about coaches who might be fired. This immediately caused a stir about Sherman and the work he did this season with quarterback Ryan Tannehill and the offensive game plan.
The story on miamiherald.com states Joe Philbin met with his players for a final time this season Monday morning and then addressed the media, discussing the organization-wide evaluation that will soon begin and promising that his team is “not that far away” from the playoffs.
While Philbin met with the media after those meeting, he did not say if he or others on his staff will get another chance to get them there. This season, where the team won their first three, only to lose their next four games and to close out the season with losses to Buffalo and the Jets, is arguably the worst collapse in team history and a fifth consecutive year out of the playoffs.
“While most believe Philbin’s job is safe, he told reporters Monday that he had yet to receive that explicit assurance from Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, who is upset after a crushing late-season swoon.”
Sherman was brought in to be the offensive coordinator of the team, which also led the the Dolphins making Ryan Tannehill the eighth pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. The Texas A&M passer worked with Sherman for the Aggies, where he served as head coach.
Philbin and Sherman are long time friends and Philbin gave him a vote of approval, stating he, “had a lot of confidence in him.”
A source close to the team said that everyone in the Dolphins organization may be jeopardy after the collapse.
